Came the day when they left home,
Left home to find their own way,
Their own way in their lives,
I was always there for them.
Time flew past and there life flourished,
Then came the day that they met somebody
And the marriage vows were sworn,
I was always there for them.
Soon new lives were with them
As they too had children as we had them,
They too would grow and move on,
I was always there for them.
Now as I get older in my life,
Less years left than I have lived
I think of my children and grandchildren,
I was always there for them.
And in these final years I know
That they will all be able to walk through my door,
And feel that they are all still at home,
As I am always there for them.
